Re: multiple ACEs with the same ACL qualifier
Wiadomość napisana przez Harald Schmalzbauer w dniu 8 lut 2013, o godz. 17:54: Hello, I'd like to duplicate the following ACL: # file: /data/shared/ # owner: harry # group: harry group:1stgroup:r-x---a-R-c--s:fd:allow group:2ndgroup:rwxp--a-R-c--s:-d:allow group:2ndgroup:D-:-d:deny group:2ndgroup:r-a-R-c--s:f-i---:allow owner@:rwxpDdaARWcCos:fd:allow group@:r-xp--a-R-c--s:fd:allow everyone@:--:fd:allow So there are two group:2ndgroup:::allow entries. While it's annoying that I can't modify one specific of these with -m (both get altered without warning/confirmation reques), I also can't use -M to apply it read from file. Are there any workarrounds? Please use -a and -x instead. The -m was fine for POSIX.1e ACLs, where you never have more than one entry per principal and the ordering doesn't matter. -- If you cut off my head, what would I say?

RE: [zfs-discuss] How many disk in one pool
From: zfs-discuss-boun...@opensolaris.org [mailto:zfs-discuss- boun...@opensolaris.org] On Behalf Of Albert Shih I'm actually running ZFS under FreeBSD. I've a question about how many disks I can have in one pool. At this moment I'm running with one server (FreeBSD 9.0) with 4 MD1200 (Dell) meaning 48 disks. I've configure with 4 raidz2 in the pool (one on each MD1200) On what I understand I can add more more MD1200. But if I loose one MD1200 for any reason I lost the entire pool. In your experience what's the limit ? 100 disk ? How FreeBSD manage 100 disk ? /dev/da100 ? Correct about if you lose one storage tray you lose the pool. Ideally you would span your redundancy across trays as well as across disks - but in your situation, 12 disks in raidz2 - and 4 trays - it's just not realistic for you. You would have to significantly increase cost (not to mention rebuild pool) in order to keep the same available disk space and gain the redundancy. Go ahead and add more trays. I've never heard of any limit of number of disks you can have in ZFS. I'm sure there is a limit, but whatever it is, you're nowhere near it. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

Also, using -m with NFSv4 ACLs is not a very good idea - it's supposed to work, but with NFSv4 ACLs the ordering does matter, and -m simply modifies the ACL entry in place, while the effect of the entry might depend e.g. on deny entries before it. Use -a instead. Forgive me- I am not particularly strong when it comes to shell scripting. I will modify so that the -a parameter is used instead of -m when setting new entries. Ok. It's simply a matter of replacing '-m' with '-a0'. Btw, the bug in setfacl(1) command has been fixed in HEAD and will be merged into STABLE in a month from now. What would you use in place of the asterisk when you want to apply the setfacl -b command to either all files or all directories? The period? Directories: find . -type d -print0 | xargs -0 setfacl -b Files: find . -type f -print0 | xargs -0 setfacl -b The whole point of xargs here is to take the list of files it gets from find and turn it into a series of arguments for setfacl. So, in the example above, the actual invocation of setfacl would read setfacl -b first-file second-file etc. With the asterisk, it would be setfacl -b * first-file second-file; this means setfacl would modify not only the files passed by find, but also all the files in the current directory. -- If you cut off my head, what would I say?

A design that is so neutral and stripped of any unnecessary details that the user's attention is directed straight on to the content as opposed to how the content looks. A design that you can look at over and over without getting annoyed. The current design is an uneven mix of various styles, and seems more forced than well thought out. First you have the shiny Satanic 3D-lookalike logo (yes, despite what y'all say, it's still Satanic) that might look cool the first few times one looks at it.

I burned this version to DVD: FreeBSD-9.0-RC2-i386-dvd1.iso The laptop had no trouble booting from this DVD. Unfortunately, I forgot about the new bsdinstall program. I was dubious but it seemed to start out okay. I had some User Interface issues with the Manual disk partition screen, but that is a matter of taste or a feature request, and not the bug. Everything progressed just fine as the various *.txz files were loaded, checked and installed. Or so it seemed... As the progress bar moved to the right toward 100% completion, a window popped up telling me that it (bsdinstall) could not handle the base.txz (BTW, what does the suffix .txz mean?) - it could not uncompress it and said something about unable to write and the string was something like: var/base.txz (note the lack of a leading slash in front of var). It asked me if I wanted to continue or restart and I said yes, but the bsdinstall started over from scratch and failed in the same manner. Unfortunately I had to bail on the attempt... :-( Prior to this, I had loaded and configured 8.2-RELEASE and had upgraded it to 8.2-STABLE. I csup'd the ports tree and built enough ports to run Xorg. And I got X11 running after a bit. But when I tried to upgrade again to 9.x (anything) I ran into problems there (slips my mind why at present) which led me to trying the FreeBSD-9.0-RC2-i386-dvd1.iso approach.

Re: FreeBSD on Compaq mini CQ10 anyone?
I just got one and was wondering if anyone was running FreeBSD on it and how well does it work out of the box. All comments are welcome. Try PCBSD (http://pcbsd.org), is a Desktop BSD variant based on FreeBSD. Personally, I've used FreeBSD in a laptop in a few occasions but after trying out PCBSD, this path requires the least effort to setup a Desktop. The installation setting up of hardware is too easy. The kernel that comes with it, does a good job in recognizing the wireless chip, sound card, NIC, display other stuff. Even though it uses the PBI format to install software on PCBSD, one can still use port to install additional softwares on it by using the portjail console. Both PBI port works together well. In short, it definitely worth a try! :) ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org
Re: port upgrading
Woh, I'm confused now. Question: what is best used to have an up2date ports collection nowadays? portsnap fetch extract update for the first time after you've setup the FreeBSD for the very first time. As the parameters used, it fetch the ports tree, extract it to /usr/ports and update it. portsnap fetch update every now and then to update the ports tree. In addition, portmanager does a good job in managing ports in terms of install/update of ports. It doesn't required ports index to find out what is installed or needs to upgrade as it scans the ports tree for dependency, every time. This is good because I don't have to deal with the problem of ports index getting corrupted. Because of this, it does required more time to install/update ports compare to portmaster portupgrade.

terminal setup issues on FreeBSD
All, I cannot believe that this is not a faq - yet a search of google didn't turn up any hits. How exactly do you set terminal settings for bsd? I've done a setenv TERM xterm where I'm ssh'ing into a local box in an rxvt (in a screen session), but there is no resize, and the variables COLUMNS and LINES don't work as they do on linux. In addition, the terminal that I've got doesn't handle newlines correctly; I get a 'looping' effect; where the prompt loops back onto itself onto the same line. Anyways, sorry if I missed any obvious FAQs, but this is exceedingly annoying, as a result of the above, it makes maintenance and work on the said machine impossible. The OS in question I'm using is unfortunately of necessity very old, ie: freebsd-4.4, so whatever solution to this will have to take that into account.

fsck and dump freeze freebsd. any ideas?
The smartctl tests on the three drives came back saying they were checked 100% without error; bad sectors have always caused an error and an aborted scan at the point of trouble for me in the past. I 'thought' I recalled seeing a panic along the lines of ffs_free or something related to free blocks or something at one point; maybe that was an error with fsck on the live system when manually ran. I will try to reproduce. Otherwise I do not know that fsck crashes; the entire system locks. I will see if I can reproduce the problem as a panic. There were some errors fsck seems to think it cleaned. A couple still exist indicating wrong counts about '12 should be 4' or '4 should be 0' type stuff. One error had a ridiculously large seven digit or so number that fsck said should be reduced. I had made a many terabyte file with a dd write to the end of a file of the largest size it would let me create and have since deleted the file; maybe that was what the reference was to. After fixing some errors, the fsck still causes a freeze and at what seems to be about the same point. The filesystem was unmounted for the dump and fsck has been attempted both mounted and unmounted. The filesystem has (ufs, NFS exported, local, soft-updates) reported for features by mount under normal operation. The freeze with dump did occur during a snapshot creation, which I found I cannot kill with a -9 (kill attempted minutes before the crash which still would not stop the creation). The powerdown question is more for how to handle an unsafe powerdown/crash on an active system. If I need to read from a partition, would read only leave it completely clean? Is there a way to operate on a file system which is treated as more of a ramdisk of changes and keeps the real partition unmodified (giving results like Faronics deepfreeze software or qemu disks in snapshot mode)? Would a zfs mirror configuration handle the unexpected crash/powerdown? Would it just report and fix the corruption, mention what files/structures weror impacted, offer restore of that data from a recent snapshot, or just say it is time to restore from a backup?

I have not tried yet, but FreeBSD8 is supposed to finally handle the anxiety of losing a drive. http://freebsdfoundation.org/press/2008Dec-newsletter.shtml#Project1 I would try smartctl from ports; run a long scan and read the full output to see if it passes or if you get a response like: # 1 Extended offlineCompleted: read failure 20% 32490 308342849 Also look above that output to see if there any metioned 'Error ## occured at disk power-on lifetime' type of messages. to scan, run: smartctl -t long /dev/ad7 after the scan, read output with: smartctl -a long /dev/ad7 What motherboard is it?

fsck and dump freeze freebsd. any ideas?
After one of the last crashes, the system would lock up a short time after rebooting. I found the problem caused by background fsck locking up the system. I took the partition out of the startup check for now. I 'think' I was installing a port during the last crash, but it has been a while. I performed a fsck and a dump (to /dev/null) confirming that both do crash the freebsd 7.2 and 6.2 (which I booted off of a separate drive). A tar to /dev/null did run successfully, but I recall reading that that is not a recommended way to backup/move a filesystem. The /usr partition where it causes trouble is in a raid5 geom_vinum three drive array. I did not yet have the array rebuild the parity nor do I know if there is any advantage/disadvantage in doing so (for this problem). I ran a long test on the drives using smartctl (which is a safer surface check than dd because 1 bad sector on my promise controller will cause a panic; I have an unrelated drive with a corrupted sector if the promise controller dirver has an interested maintainer.) When running fsck, it is somewhere within phase 1 when it crashes. I ran a truss run of fsck with -aedD and snapped a photo of my screen when it crashed which I can type up if it is of any use. At the time of freebsd freezing, the hard drive activity light goes from a faint flicker to on solid for about a second and then goes out. The system is completely unresponsive where it locks showing no sign of activity that I have been able to notice. I imagine the recommendation is start over, but before I do (and likely just try a tar backup/restore), are there any other suggestions and questions before I blow away the problem? It would be nice for freebsd users to not be able to run into such a problem. As a final question, is there any safe way to crash freebsd (or pull system power) without a risk of filesystem corruption? ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org
need help: crashing appears to be caused by/within console screen saver
I do not know where I should ask for help but I have core files from July 24, 23, 21 (x2), 19, 16 (x2) and May 17. All of the July crashes appear similar. The May crash was unrelated but shows that things were relatively stable until the first of these glitches. I am currently using the nvidia driver version 180.60 from ports on FreeBSD 7.2-RELEASE #0. The crashes typically take place when running through port rebuilds and upgrades, which I often do from the 3rd terminal. It usually occurs when I am away, but I just saw it where it looked like it was going to load the terminal screen saver and the screen just sat blank for maybe 10 seconds and then the system was restarting. I have since unloaded logo_saver.ko but would still like to resolve the source of the crashes if possible. Any suggestions where I should go from here and what other information would be helpful? At the end I copied a kgdb with a backtrace; It is what lead me to see that it crashed each time as the screen saver was activating (or so it now seems likely).

Installation medium undetected / Initial network setup
I am working with the Disc 1 ISO of 7-RELEASE. I am having difficulty when selecting the installation medium. When I choose CD/DVD, it returns Error mounting /dev/acd0 on /dist. Input / Output error 5. I have already set up the partition, and used the auto mode to create slices. I also tried the FTP option, at which point it prompted me to setup my network interface, which I could not complete. I'm using built in nVidia ethernet that it recognizes. I enabled DHCP in the options menu. I know my default gateway IP, but am unsure what to provide as hostname or domain. I currently have a linux distro installed, so if there is a command i can run to retrieve the necessary info I can do that. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Atheros Wireless Card Causes Page Fault
Hi, This is a question about a hardware problem. I hope this is an appropriate place to ask. I have a recently purchased Lenovo ThinkPad, with a Atheros 5212 wireless card (well, dmesg says it's an Atheros 5212; I believe it). It also has a wired internet connector, which works perfectly fine. I wish I was writing you from that computer, but I am at work right now and don't have the ThinkPad at my fingertips. I can update later tonight, but perhaps you can spot my error with just the somewhat incomplete information I have right now. I have compiled the Atheros driver and wireless support into my kernel: device ath device ath_hal device ath_rate_sample device wlan device wlan_wep device wlan_ccmp device wlan_tkip The card is detected correctly upon system startup. If I write ifconfig_ath0=DHCP into /etc/rc.conf (or, alternatively, use dhclient ath0) the system connects to the wireless router and gets an IP address successfully. (My wireless at home is unsecured). I go to test the connection in Lynx. Google loads (yay!). I submit a google search, that may load. But I rarely get a third page transmitted before I get a page fault. The error is quite like this person's (http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-current/2006-September/065608.html), though his problem didn't seem to be resolved on the list. In particular, the system reports a fatal trap 12: page fault while in kernel mode. Fault virtual address is 0x0, not 0xc, if it makes a difference. The fault code is also supervisor read, page not present. The current process is ath0 taskq. To my (totally uneducated) eyes, this seems to be a driver problem. I am not certain of my wireless card's make/number, but I assume that it really is an Atheros 5212, not only because that's what FreeBSD says, but that's also what Lenovo ships as the basic ThinkPad card (I didn't go with Intel wireless). So if I'm using the right driver, I'm not sure what the issue might be. Thanks for any help you might have!

Any advice for learning debugging threading and stack corruption problems for c/c++?
I have had a very hard time trying to debug which has hindered my work on some projects. In particular I have had trouble properly grasping how to work with debugging multi threaded applications, memory errors, and stack corruption. I know that it is not a five minute learning process to absorb such knowledge, but I have not yet found helpful references. I have had best luck trying to logically guess a location close to the problem, then setting a break and walking through the code. Once I hit a segfault, I run through the code with a breakpoint bringing me to just before the problem, but do not always understand how to go further. Strange things I see look like bad pointer addresses or the problems being caused within another thread. Since moving to FreeBSD7, I have been unable to use valgrind (which did not seem to help much on multi threaded apps) and I have not found a way to test binaries in the work directories and have had to install it to test it. At present, either gdb alone or kdbg seem to be the only ways I have been able to get even partially reliable responses from gdb because other interfaces disregard breakpoints and interrupts to execution. Are such difficulties common? On another similar topic, is there a good place to start learning about limitations to system internals, such as kern.ipc.shmmax and why I may 'not' want to set it to excessively high values or how other values relate to changing it? How can I tell what cap is occurring, whether it be a system limit or something controlled within the app such as with pthread_attr_setstacksize() and how are 'proper' values determined? The books advanced programming in the unix environment and programming with posix threads help me learn the unix world a bit better, but without debugging knowledge I find it hard to get anywhere with writing more than my high school level of programs and very difficult to get anywhere on the projects of others once threads and/or dynamic memory is involved.

Re: Unable to reach hosts outside my subnet after initial installation
From: Derek Ragona [EMAIL PROTECTED] Check and/or create /etc/nsswitch.conf so you are looking in files and dns for hosts. Check or create /etc/resolv.conf make sure your upsteam DNS servers are listed in this file along with any local caching DNS servers. Thanks for the suggestion. Those files already exist with valid entries though. In any event, it doesn't seem like a hostname problem as I can nslookup arbitrary hosts and then try and then ping the IP numbers directly which fails for hosts beyond the local subnet. It seems more like a router/gateway network configuration type of problem. I've just discovered that when I ping the gateway's IP address, I get no answer. Now I know the gateway is functioning as every other host on the network can reach the rest of the internet and in fact, I've just successfully ping'd the gateway from the machine where I'm writing this message. So I'm wondering what could cause this or at least some way of approaching the problem. thanks ed ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Promise SATA300 TX2plus with LG GGW-H20L burner on 7.0 causes endless timeouts.
This is a collection of information to my troubles. I am hoping to find out what mailing list is most appropriate before I started posting kernel dump backtraces and asking what other details to post. What other details may be relevant to gather would also be helpful. Are there safe ways to crash a system to gather details without further filesystem corruption? My motherboard is about six years old so it has no SATA ports for the drive; My old Promise SATA150 TX4 was loaded with four hard drives; it appears to not support optical drives so I recently purchased the Promise SATA300 TX2plus to have a card giving what I need on this old computer and hopefully an IDE port on my next computer (if the board I buy in a year comes with a PCI slot for it). I thought Promise cards receive good FreeBSD support and was readily available at a local retailer. Upon booting, I get the following 2 errors after a long pause: acd0: timeout waiting to issue command acd0: error issuing ATA PACKET command These errors are looped. The pause occurs just after acd0 and acd1 are identified. After a little over a page of errers there are cd2 entries for the SATA drive that appear. I was able to `atacontrol detach ata6` yesterday to put a hault to that traffic. The system periodically pauses while the errors are being generated. Inside X, pauses appeared to come every 8 seconds or so and last a second or two. I booted this morning to restore services while I was at work and accidentally detached ata5 (with a mounted but not in use partition) and started X (which loads the nvidia driver and takes the videocard fan down to an idle state). When I got home, the system was sluggish with the pauses (seemed to not give the full 8 seconds between I/O freezes). Attempting to detach ata6 never returned to a prompt, but the error loop appeared to have stopped. Trying to open programs or login to other virtual terminals just lead to freezing in the related program or terminal. ctrl + alt + delete left me with the gui on F9 and only F1 as a text terminal, but both were crippled beyond use before than with the freezing. Pressing power did not begin the usual shutdown sequence; ACPI(?) errors followed for each press with a message something along the lines of not being ready yet. After many minutes of no action, I forced a powerdown. Reboots lead to segfaults after I logged in and tried to detach ata6 (which appeared to succeed). I should have a crash dump, but do not recall the error; it lead me to conclude that file system corruption may be present. I had to reboot in single user mode to detach ata6 and run fsck which found errors (as usual of almost every time I have had improper shutdowns on FreeBSD machines). Booting normal after than and detaching ata6 was followed with another segfault so I have unplugged the drive in the meantime. The old and new controller cards are listed as the following on bootup: atapci0: port 0x9000-0x903f,0x9400-0x940f,0x9800-0x987f mem 0xe804-0xe8040fff,0xe800-0xe801 irq 22 at device 10.0 on pci2 atapci1: port 0x9c00-0x9c7f,0xa000-0xa0ff mem 0xe8041000-0xe8041fff,0xe802-0xe803 irq 19 at device 11.0 on pci2 Any suggestions where to go from here to get the system working?

I'm starting to think I'm expecting something out of the handbook it's not designed to do. It seems like the man pages would be a good place to go, but my trouble with using them is that they're difficult to put together the information on different pages. I suppose I want something like a textbook. I dream of a KR type text that is very comprehensive and well-organized. If anyone has advice, I'd very much appreciate it!

Dynamic Memory Allocation Limit?
I have recently been writing an implementation of the sieve of Eratosthenes in C. To find all primes less than N, I dynamically create an array of chars (relatively small datatype) of length N+1 (I know I don't need to represent evens). Everything works great up until around 600 million, at which case memory allocation fails. At this point, I am asking for 600M chars, which is about 572MB (I might be failing to take account of offset?). My system has about 2GB of memory. Top says: Mem: 159M Active, 1113M Inact, 185M Wired, 56M Cache, 112M Buf, 481M Free. From the man page, I am not completely clear what these values mean. However, I have read elsewhere that memory labeled as inactive should be available for the heap Is there a limit to how much memory may be allocated to a process? Any other reasons someone might think of? I am using FreeBSD 6.3-prerelease, with SMP for a Athlon X2 4200+ (if it makes a difference). Sorry if this is a RTFM question ...

Even more documentation?
Hi all, I've used FreeBSD for about two years now. Besides using Linux for projects on school computers, I never had much experience with Unix-like operating systems. While I get by nicely on FreeBSD, I recently felt that I didn't have a very solid understanding of it's organization or structure. I suppose one can't know everything about an operating system with as much functionality as FreeBSD, but I started to feel like my knowledge was really ad-hoc, and that I didn't completely understand what I was doing (as if I had learned only by example). To that end, I started reading the FreeBSD handbook front-to-back. I've gotten to Part III, and while it's been very valuable, I still feel like I'm learning by example, and not by understanding the operating system.

Re: do I need to install xorg?

You can do this through packages or ports. You can even install it (as a package) through sysinstall by selecting a distribution containing x11. -- Ned Ruggeri ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Handbook Question
Hi All! Still reading through the FreeBSD handbook. I'm at section 5.5.3; it discusses how to edit the /usr/local/etc/fonts/local.conf file to adjust how X11 handles the anti-aliasing of fonts. It ends (about) with this sentence: Anti-aliasing should be enabled the next time the X server is started. Perhaps I am splitting hairs: hasn't anti-aliasing been enabled all along, it's now just going to be handled differently the next time local.conf is read? I ask because I'm afraid I missed something.

Thanks! Sincerely, -- Ned Ruggeri Don't forget to use i386 instead of amd64, since those higher resolutions are vesa modes(I also don't think you can get any widescreen resolutions) and amd64 can't access the vesa instructions. You might be able to try hacking the loader and change resolutions there but I don't know if it would stay that way through boot or what effect X windows would have. You could just try a fullscreen xterm. Using evilwm it can give you the look of a console with a higher resolution.
